Large disconnect between upper management and everyone else - werkgeversreview Product Development Engineer II bij Lynntech

Plenty of opportunities to branch out and work on a variety of projects. Able to chat directly with anyone in the company regardless of your position.

Reliant on SBIR contracts for majority of funding. Proved difficult when SBIR re-authorization was delayed.

Good experience for a first time job- lots of small tasks to see if you enjoy the work to do it later in your career

- The experience you get is very shallow and not enough to feel like you have any experience in it - Compensation does not match work expected to be done - Several individuals experienced harassment from a coworker and were told by HR that nothing could be done because "it happened so long ago" (2 months had passed). When things were finally being addressed weeks later it was suggested and, written in an email from HR, for them to put themselves in a situation with the individual that might cause another incident to allow more recent evidence of harassment - I was part of a major layoff due to government funding recently and management made a tacky joke about one of the individuals that was laid off one hour after it happened - There are 3 cliques in Engineering with one being notorious for racism and misogyny- in the past year these individuals received the most raises and promotions despite others being just as qualified yet being passed over. This company is very much "it's who you know not what you know" as the manager involved in that clique has a higher social standing than the other managers
